The following table describes the Virtual Router Group Priority Tracking Configuration Menu options.

Table 167 Virtual Router Group Priority Tracking Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

vrs disableenable

When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each virtual router

 

in master mode on this switch. This is useful for making sure that traffic for any particular

 

client/server pairing are handled by the same switch, increasing routing and load

 

balancing efficiency. This command is disabled by default.

 

 

ifs disableenable

When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each other IP

 

interface active on this switch. An IP interface is considered active when there is at least

 

one active port on the same VLAN. This helps elect the virtual routers with the most

 

available routes as the master. This command is disabled by default.

 

 

ports disableenable

When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each active port on

 

the same VLAN. A port is considered “active” if it has a link and is forwarding traffic.

 

This helps elect the virtual routers with the most available ports as the master. This

 

command is disabled by default.

Displays the current configuration for priority tracking for this virtual router.

This menu is used for configuring VRRP authentication parameters for the IP interfaces used with the virtual routers. The interface-number(1 to 128) represents the IP interface on which authentication parameters must be configured.

The following table describes the VRRP Interface Configuration Menu options.Table 168 VRRP Interface Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

auth nonepassword

Defines the type of authentication that will be used: none (no authentication),

 

or password (password authentication).

 

 

passw <password>

Defines a plain text password up to eight characters long. This password will

 

be added to each VRRP packet transmitted by this interface when password

 

authentication is chosen (see auth above).

 

 

del

Clears the authentication configuration parameters for this IP interface. The IP

 

interface itself is not deleted.

 

 

cur

Displays the current configuration for this IP interface’s authentication

 

parameters.

configuration

This menu is used for setting weights for the various criteria used to modify priority levels during the master router election process. Each time one of the tracking criteria is met, the priority level for the virtual router is increased by an amount defined through this menu.

NOTE: These priority tracking options only define increment values. These options do not affect the VRRP master router election process until options under the VRRP Virtual Router Priority Tracking Menu are enabled.
